Employability through covenants
other
How can a sustainable employment insurance system be guaranteed as a major element of the ESM? First a summary overview of the Lisbon targets and their impact on the policies of and in the member states of the European Union is given. Then follow data and problems associated with the target of enhancing employability by means of pushing continuous vocational training (CVT). Next, some Dutch experiences are sketched with covenants, and point to critical success factors. The contribution elaborates on two issues: 1. an example of employability, in particular continuous vocational training within the European Union and illustrated by some relevant, mainly, OECD-data on the subject; 2. An argument about covenants on employability as a contribution to the transformation of an unemployment into an employment insurance.
